In a comment printed alongside the announcement, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama notes that the adaptation will mark the first time he has been so deeply involved in the production of an anime, in this case as early as the screenwriting stages. Toriyama also says that the film will retain the atmosphere of the original while adding small amounts of “modern flavor.”

The announcement lists Fox International Productions Japan as a member of the film’s production committee, alongside Shueisha, Fuji TV, Toei Animation, Bandai, and Bandai Namco Games.

The official website for the magazine had already opened a “D” teaser page with a countdown to a “surprise” on Saturday, July 14.
